Text to Outlines
Although I didn't learn this directly through completion of another project, I did play with it in
illustrator to create a name tag for myself.
Simple drawing with a pen tool
I created my drawing encouraging kids to get "fired up about reading" using the pen tool.
Group objects
I grouped several objects to repeat them in my argyle creation.
Color, applying, learning RGB and Web codes
I think this is an interesting issue, that some colors are meant for print and others for the eye. All of my projects incorporated an awareness of this, but it was definitely important
in my argyle so that it was pleasing to the eye.
Aligning
I used alignment to create a perfect bulls eye.
Using the ruler, guidelines, and grid
I used the ruler, guidelines, and grid tools to create my "on target reading" bulls eye.
Scaling
I used scaling to make sure the circles in my bulls eye were the right sizes compared to one another.
Rotating
I rotated many items, but the most use I got out of it was making the argyle pattern.
Reflecting
I used reflection to create my Spartan mascot propaganda :).
Using the free Transform tool
Among other times, I used the free transform tool in the creation of my new alphabet letter to freely resize, rotate, and scale my letter combination, and I also used it when sizing the outline and text box in my Hawaii photo.
Exporting files (.jpg, .gif, .png)
I exported all my files from illustrator as .jpg files so that they would maintain good quality resolution as well as to be a suitable file type to upload to the wiki.
Tools you must learn
Projects you must complete
Examples of your work
I used shape to create my concept of tension,
and also used them in my avatar, and I used a shape to begin
work with my text on a path arrow.
I used both fill and stroke on my argyle creation.
I used layers to create my text-on-photo dealing with Hawaii and my directions for economics.
I used text on a variety of projects, but I like the
manipulation of text in my symphony creation the best.

I used text on a path to create my "motivational" graphic
Justification paper link
The drawing I created with the pen utilized paths to design the fire, and then fill the areas with color.
